Such a cool place. Been here multiple times. Tip one see if they have a traveling exhibit we lucked in to the costumes of star wars.
The kids museum is fantastic. There are lots of different settings for imaginative play (vet, supermarket, diner etc). There is a large water area with smocks to protect clothes from splashing, a plastic ball room with all sorts of contraptions for getting the balls around and even a separate area for smaller kids that has toys, several fun play environments and a little room for nursing or reading quietly. There is something for everyone and we always leave happy & exhausted.
Tip two have your kids bring things from nature, leaves, flowers, rocks, etc... if they can tell the staff at the trading store about then they will get points to use. Mine love this they can save for big things like deer skulls or cash out small things like obsidian. There is a scavenger hunt that will get you started so your child can have points if they didn't know to bring anything. Can't wait till the whole restoration is done. They seem to be trying to keep the original union station feel.
It's a little harder to enjoy while under construction but we do have a membership and our kids always have a wonderful time. I love that they allow outside food so we can bring a cooler and stay longer. The cafe by the children's museum is pretty overpriced.
I've been to the Museum Center many times and it is always a pleasant experience. Over the last year's it is gotten a little pricey to go to all of the venues at the same time but each exhibit is well thought through and the presenters at the exhibits do a wonderful job of telling they're stories.
My kids love the museum center. The Natural History Museum is their favorite. The Duke's Children's Museum is another favorite. We've been going for the last 7 years and I never regret our membership. It is a great value. The food options in the past have left much to be desired. We typically bring food with us now. Love the holiday show as well. Trains and Legos and thoughtful, friendly volunteers.
I have always especially liked the Cincinnati Riverside exhibit with what appears to be a real riverboat that you can board and a real 1800 Cincinnati Street where you can see the merchants and the printers and The Butchers.
